DDG & Nick Cannon Clash in Wild ‘N Out Rap Battle

Things got heated during a recent episode of MTV’s ‘Wild ‘N Out’ when rapper DDG and host Nick Cannon found themselves in a rap battle that quickly turned personal. The two traded barbs, not just about their careers, but also diving deep into their relationships and parenting styles. It was a clash of titans, with both men pulling no punches.

Parenting and Partners Under Fire

The battle kicked off with DDG taking aim at Cannon’s well-known situation of having many children with multiple women. DDG dropped a line suggesting Cannon was only on the show to pay child support and even controversially rhymed, ‘But really, you should wild and abort.’ This jab clearly referenced Cannon’s large brood.

Cannon, never one to back down, fired back by bringing up DDG’s own custody issues with his son’s mother, Halle Bailey. He retorted, ‘Talk about my kids, yeah, that’s fine / But at least my baby mama let me see mine.’ This hit close to home, referencing the resolved custody battle and restraining orders between DDG and Bailey, which were settled in October.

Escalating Insults

DDG then escalated the insults, questioning Cannon’s age and marital status, and implying his only lasting connection to fame was through his ex-wife Mariah Carey. He continued to press the custody issue, stating, ‘I can see my kid, but you can’t see yours.’ The rapper then made a broad, harsh generalization about Cannon’s partners, saying, ‘You got like 20 kids / All your baby mamas is whores.’

Cannon’s quick response, ‘Not all of them,’ before the segment wrapped, showed he was ready to engage but perhaps recognized the intensity. The exchange was undoubtedly one of the most personal and cutting moments of the battle.

Clearing the Air?

However, in true ‘Wild ‘N Out’ fashion, it seems the battle was all in good fun, or at least, that’s what DDG claims. He later clarified on stream that he didn’t mean the harsh words, attributing some lines to ChatGPT and admitting he was ‘a little mad’ when Cannon responded. DDG specifically apologized for the ‘baby mamas is whores’ line, stating he doesn’t even know Cannon’s baby mamas and only knows Mariah Carey.

Given Cannon’s history on the show and his past comments on DDG’s relationships, it’s likely this feud won’t carry over into real life. For now, it seems like just another memorable moment from the long-running improv comedy show.
